Better yet, I’ve never consciously chosen a carrier that charged for texting since I know it costs them next to nothing to provide the service. The only real cost comes in when it crosses carrier boundaries but even that is cheap.

If you’re paying per text I hate to say it, you’re not a good consumer.

Wouldn’t say a texting fiend, but do rely on it a lot, largely to organise (or more corrctly, re-organise) child arrangements! Its also a great avoidance tool, probably to the detriment of some relationships
